The fact that this former paddling pool is filled and emptied at either end by a stream, has allowed its conversion into a part of a small wetland area. The ponds and concrete bridges in this area of the valley floor are the only remaining features of what was an area where people used to congregate in the 30s and 40s to enjoy formal features that included a bandstand, a bowling green and a rifle range.
